First of all… Thank You to my two favoritephotographers, my darling husband, Tom and his BFF, Craig Swancy. These two guys did an amazing job of capturing all of the wonderful action at the T-Bone Walker Blues Fest. I think you will agree that they are phenomenal photographers. I just wish I had a thimble full of their talent. Yucky things happen when I get behind the lens.
Here are the final set of pictures. I hope you enjoy them!!!

It is only a week until the July 4th weekend and almost everyone gets a 3 day weekend! YAY!! If you are looking for a small town Independence Day Celebration, then Jefferson Texas is your place. The Carriage House Bed & Breakfast still has a few rooms left so give us a call today.
East Texas has so many wonderful places to enjoy the great outdoors. We have some wonderful State Parks with Caddo Lake and Lake o’ the Pines State Parks only 20 minutes away from the B&B. If you would like to spend the day hiking; boating; kayaking; and fishing; then you will need to pack a picnic lunch. The best place to pick up the yummies for your picnic lunch will be at Joseph’s Riverport BBQ only a block and a half away from us here at the Carriage House B&B.
I will put this BBQ up for comparison to anybody elses. The ribs are so tender that the meat just falls off of the bone with just the right amount of bark and sauce to give it that smokey taste. The brisket is tender and succulent and they have fabulous fried catfish. Seriously, this is some good stuff! Joseph’s Riverport BBQ is offering their food in bulk for the holiday weekend. If you are interested, just give them a call at (903)665-2341 or by e-mail at riverport2@yahoo.com!!!
Whole Briskets (feeds 12-16) … $45.00
Whole Pork Butts or Pork Loin (feeds 8-10) … $30.00
Whole Turkey Breasts (feeds 12-16) … $40.00
Whole Racks of Ribs (uncut) … $18.00
Gallons of Side Orders … $20.00
Gallons of Sauce … $15.00
Happy 4th of July!!
